Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 24 Simon's flaws

Jonathan Friedman listened to Simon telling about his past nine months of treatment in a psychiatric hospital. When he was surprised, he frowned.

Hollywood, a vanity fair that can easily cause ups and downs, actually has a lot of celebrities with mental problems. More celebrities who often enter the nursing home under the banner of treating mental problems are more addicted.

However, few of them are so severe that they need to be treated in a psychiatric hospital like Simon for up to nine months.

After Simon finished speaking, Jonathan Friedman looked at the boy opposite and asked, "So, Simon, you are fine now, right?"

Although the other twelve consciousnesses all fell into silence, the memories of these people remained in their minds.In all fairness, Simon really does not know whether he will have problems in the future.

Jonathan noticed the hesitation in Simon's expression and probably understood something.He also knew very well that mental illnesses are usually very difficult to cure completely.

Moreover, Jonathan can also understand why Simon will actively mention this matter to him today.

Hollywood has no prejudice against people with minor mental illnesses in the circle. As long as it does not affect work, everyone may only think that this person has some quirks.However, for serious mental patients, Hollywood, and even the entire society, although most people have a lot of sympathy, but also inevitably show a respectful attitude of discrimination.

As far as Simon is concerned, Jonathan has no doubt that he will have some achievements in Hollywood in the future through the performance of this teenager in recent times.

Therefore, if Simon's past is used by those who intend to use it in the future, it will be widely publicized in the media, which may have a serious impact on his personal image.Even if Simon's mental problems recur, the result will be even worse.

With this worry, Jonathan asked again: "Simon, since you took the initiative to mention this matter today, did you already have your own plans?"

Simon nodded and said, "Joe, the first thing, I hope you can help me to block the public events and media interviews that Fox arranges for the "Butterfly Effect" for the next period of time. I hope I will be late The better it appears in the public eye."

"It's okay, I will help you to stop these things as much as possible," Jonathan nodded, remembering the contents of the newspaper, and laughing again, "So, you should also change your name because of this? But, take An original vocabulary such as'Westero' is still a little wrong as a surname, it's too conspicuous.

Simon just laughed and said nothing.

Jonathan didn't pursue it, but he couldn't help but feel that there should be a lot of secrets in the boy opposite.

Thinking this, Jonathan asked again: "Simon, you just said the first thing, so what about the second?"

Simon said: "I want to go back to San Francisco and take back my previous medical records."

In fact, this is Simon's main intention when he came to see Jonathan suddenly.

Simon has always been thankful that this body was "suffering" from schizophrenia, not personality schizophrenia.

If Simon showed a state of split personality at the time, twelve souls from more than thirty years later took turns to take over the body, arbitrarily saying something and doing something when the situation was unclear.

Well, even if Simon is not sent to any messy institute now, and even if he can still leave the psychiatric hospital smoothly, what he said and done, he will definitely bury for his future. Countless hidden dangers.

Although the facts are better than the worst, but even so, Simon, who was once in a state of schizophrenia, is inevitably shown in certain words and deeds because of the twelve other consciousnesses that were stuck in his mind. Some flaws that are reminiscent of something.

Many of these flaws were recorded in his medical records.

Jonathan could not have known Simon's true intention to retrieve his medical records, but he also strongly agreed with Simon's doing so.

As long as the medical record files are taken back and destroyed, even if there are people who still want to take Simon's story in the future, without the most solid evidence, Simon has too much room for maneuver.

With this in mind, Jonathan quickly said: "So, Simon, I will let Irving take you to San Francisco tomorrow."

Hearing Jonathan say this, Simon shook his head and refused: "Joe, I want to go by myself, as long as you can borrow me a car. Wait a minute and I will start right away. If it goes well, I can catch it tomorrow afternoon. come back."

Jonathan still wanted to say something. Seeing Simon's expression firm, he stopped talking and got up: "So, come with me."

After leaving the office, Jonathan and Owen Wright said a few words, took a bunch of car keys and handed it to Simon, and then took him out of the WMA headquarters building.

The two came to the parking lot together, and Jonathan pointed to a normal gray Ford sedan and said, "This is Irving's car. You just drive there. My car will not be lent to you."

Simon nodded and naturally understood Jonathan's intentions.

Jonathan's car is the latest Mercedes-Benz 500SEC of this era. Simon left Watsonville for more than a month, and suddenly drove back in a luxury Mercedes.

Jonathan finished, motioned for Simon to get in the car, and also opened his Mercedes door, and said to Simon again, "Follow me."

Simon drove behind Jonathan's Mercedes, left Camino Street, walked between Beverly Hills streets for a few minutes, and stopped again in front of a bank.

Jonathan just asked Simon to wait a moment, walked into the bank himself, came back again after a while, and got into the Ford sedan co-pilot to hand Simon the two stacks of banknotes, saying: "This is twenty thousand dollars, I think you should use it."

Seeing that Jonathan parked the car in front of the bank, Simon probably understood the agent's intention. He had planned to refuse, and after thinking about it, he still collected the money.

Saying goodbye to the agent, Simon drove the gray Ford car westward through downtown Los Angeles, onto California Highway 1, and north along the coastline.

Driving a private car on the road is much faster than the original bus.

However, from Los Angeles to Watsonville in the south of San Francisco, Simon still spent more than five hours.

Stayed at a motel in the small town of Watsonville, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Before departing from Los Angeles, Simon had called to make an appointment.

After a night of rest in Watsonville, at ten o'clock the next morning, Simon rushed to the mental hospital outside the town on time.

As a public psychiatric hospital that requires federal financial subsidies in most cases, Watsonville Psychiatric Hospital, which has been built for a few years, is still the look of Xiao Ransen.

Simon waited patiently for a while outside the office of Henry Chapman, the attending physician, and the nurse informed him that he could go in.

Dr. Chapman was surprised that Simon returned again so soon, and asked Simon concerned with concern as soon as he saw him.

Simon naturally has no problem. He simply greeted Dr. Chapman and felt a tinkling sound coming from his ear. He asked, "Henry, is this being decorated recently?"

Dr. Chapman saw nothing in Simon’s speech, so he calmed down and shook his head to explain softly: “Last Wednesday a patient erected the bed and hung himself up, just happened to be found by other patients, a few days later Two more patients learned to do this. Three people died in a row, and the hospital is nailing all beds to the floor."

Simon heard the words, suddenly a little silent.

The patients in the psychiatric hospital are very sympathetic, but as a doctor, especially in a public psychiatric hospital, the pressure is also very great.

The suicide of a patient was not originally suitable for casually telling a visitor to him. Dr. Chapman mentioned these things, not only as a friend of Simon, but also with some desire to confide in this repressive environment.

When the atmosphere was quiet for a moment, Dr. Chapman opened his mouth first, and asked, "Simon, since you have no problem, then come here today?"

Simon organized the wording a little bit and said, "Henry, this is the case. If possible, I hope to take away my original medical records."

"Oh," Dr. Chapman responded this way, but he didn't feel anything strange in his expression, just said: "Simon, do you have $500?"

Simon was stunned for some doubt, but he quickly withdrew $500 from his backpack and handed it to Dr. Chapman.

"Then, you wait a moment here."

Dr. Chapman took the money, packed it in his pocket, and left Simon's office with a word to Simon.

Simon watched Dr. Chapman leave, still puzzled.

However, Simon did not question Dr. Chapman's intention to ask for $500.He is still confident in Dr. Chapman's character.This kind-hearted middle-aged man took a special half-day leave when he was renamed, and drove him to the district court to attend the name change hearing.

Before coming to Watsonville, if it was not the agent who lent him 20,000 US dollars, Simon had originally planned to bring only some of the spare money saved during this time to make the toll.

A few minutes later, Dr. Chapman returned and handed Simon a thick portfolio, saying, "Simon, take it."

Simon took the portfolio in his hand, but he couldn't help looking at the middle-aged doctor who had turned to his desk and sat down again.

Dr. Chapman noticed Simon’s puzzled expression and smiled, saying, “I won’t ask you why you want to take these things. In fact, you are not the first person to want to do this. Just that $500 It's for Wesley in the archives room. So even if someone asks later, he will say that this file is missing."

Simon Mo carried the kraft paper edge of the portfolio and said, "Henry, wouldn't it be a problem?"

Dr. Chapman shook his head and gave a reassuring look, saying: "Simon, like our public mental hospital, the situation is worse, and no one or two will be concerned about it. However, apart from this file, During your stay in hospital, I will provide Stanford with a monthly report on your condition. If you want to get this information back, you have to go to Palo Alto. Oh, there is one more point. Those reports are written with your original name."

Simon nodded, he actually remembered it.

However, the monthly medical reports are only a brief summary of his treatment progress, and will not involve some details that Simon wants to avoid.Therefore, Simon did not intend to continue to waste time on those materials.

The two talked a few words, and Dr. Chapman got up again and said, "So, Simon, I'll take you out, there's nothing to treat here."

Simon nodded, put the file bag in his backpack, and the two left the office together.

On the way to Simon's parking lot, Dr. Chapman asked about his current situation.

Simon didn't hide it, he simply said the matter during this time, and also showed out the copy of the "Los Angeles Times" to Dr. Chapman.

The middle-aged doctor was very happy for him when he saw the article about Simon in the newspaper.When he parted, he also left Simon’s address and contact information to Simon, hoping that Simon would come to San Francisco again and visit his home in the small town of Watsonville.

After leaving Watsonville, Simon drove along California’s Highway 1 for more than an hour, stopping on a lonely coast, lit the medical record file by hand, confirmed that all the paper was turned to ashes, and held up with The fly ash mixed with the sand was scattered into the sea, and I was completely relieved.

It used to be completely annihilated.
